The Site Council is responsible for revising the School Site Plan including expenditures, timelines and evaluation criteria as needed, as well as annual evaluations of the effectiveness of the school’s progress toward meeting school goals to raise student achievement for all students. It provides ongoing monitoring of the implementation of the plan and budgets/expenditures.
